Before the last class let out, I was stopped at the door by Veronica and Claire. They had been two of Cassie's friends, the other half of her otherwise horrible exterior, and had been giving me looks for days.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPSK16nKZM
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH4jMJsyoX
"We have to talk to you," Veronica said. "It's important."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt7SeJsMky
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zpG9Zgxl
"It couldn't possibly be," I said, rolling my eyes. "The two of you have never had anything important or nice to say to me in four years. So what is it?"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIFmHfHvFj
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4umSXhf20
"It's about Cassie," Claire offered kindly, stepping forward. She looked extremely sad at the mention of her friend. "She didn't hate you, you know. She put on an act and she wanted you to know that before she was--"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3sRU8xCtF
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBq6GPp6pt
"I guess you didn't go to the funeral," Veronica muttered. "But why would you when you thought she hated you? Maybe you should have gone, Kendall, that way you'd have known the truth."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hUnRT3Sis
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeRjfBA6ZV
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4K8TLN9m0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdwsPJJmt8
Claire spoke next, her voice tight, small.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVpVcOI3IO
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB1YRFEn68
"Cassie's mom told us that Cassie wrote a bunch of letters before she died, to the people she had hurt in her lifetime, and she wanted you to have this."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcRanaNfZ5
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbGYApVn3Y
When Claire passed me an envelope, I stared at it before putting it in my pocket. All I wanted now was to get out of this room, to get as far away from these people as I could. I didn't want to be reminded about Cassie Winter's death, because I thought about it every time I closed my eyes at night.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfpnkyjcyM
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDmHQRPALu
So I left.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXlJiTE2Vi

On the way out into the parking lot, after being pushed by several students because they couldn't just wait to leave, a hand fell on my shoulder. It gripped tightly at first, whirling me around. I spun and faced a pair of forest green eyes.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9jTR1kByE

Jude dropped his hand and frowned. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qp1sOSmuX
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaEqf1KRNZ
"No," I said, shaking my head.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mCQh9dJy
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIe1jRyO79
"In your own world, huh?" He smiled. "Mind if I join you there?"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJfBQ3l7MB
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTsnsbVEqN
"You wouldn't like my world," I told him, and it was true. He wouldn't do well there. "It's full of horrible things."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRoYMXSJ0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRKFKlV7VZ
"Like monsters?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZuWmtertt
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rzh4TkOpM
I suddenly wished the only thing in my world that I had to worry about were monsters. Before I said another word, an arm went around my waist, pulling me close. I inhaled the scent of cinnamon.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW9Lg4fz35
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUQ0IIQhoC
"Hey," Christian said roughly into my ear.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2k3OLRfuK
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO8y1U21K0
"Hi," I said, winding my own arm around his body. I stared into his hazel eyes, but they weren't looking at me.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLH73bAUtL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex95TKHp5h
"Hello, Christian," Jude said softly, inclining his head politely. "How are you today?"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eyDYXZ1sJ
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNHdk6ZHiH
"Not so well. You see, there's this annoying little prick in front of my eyes and it's hard to make it go away. Do you think you can help me with that?" His lips twisted into a nasty smirk.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsAZZDtDDm
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQCGo9Cqz
I reached up and pinched the back on his neck with my nails, making him wince.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ZEaAtgwy
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1slvyHDW2V
"Sorry," I told Jude, "but we have to go. I need to get Christian home before he contracts any more of the asshole disease."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnosZQQCCC
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqWnlNRtsr
Jude let out a small laugh. "I think he's already caught more than that, darling."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WNRT9Fww
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0lwnN1SCs
Christian's body tensed and he made a low growling noise in the back of his throat. Before he could do any permanent damage, I gripped his wrist and pulled him out the door. When we were finally close to our cars, I glared at him.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrmEVj50zo
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgRUnAw1nO
"You're so rude. What is wrong with you?"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKBRfdyL1u
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rW381OuBc
There was a hard, unkind way he was looking at me.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR0BE6bKfL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsabaHKWJl
"I don't want to get into this now, Scott, I just want to go home."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIQWt2wraQ
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9uBxmj50A
I shifted uncomfortably, more from his tone than anything else. I glanced at him. "What time are we meeting later?"530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglGuslygcq
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoFbuMo20A
He frowned and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea right now."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELaOo5EpvD
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0QomkiWkT
"Why not?" I asked, my lips twitching. "If it's because of Jude, it's a stupid reason."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0eUI69B6X
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNsn3KSBMm
"It's not," Christian said, sighing. "There's just some stuff going on that I need to figure out and I can't do that with you around. I'm sorry."530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2uswbFIO
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8guOZgLN1
I stood, watching him get into his car, then I turned around to leave, tears blurring my vision. Jude was standing behind me with his hand outstretched. Something in me worked on its own and I walked toward him.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M1lq6IKj5
